[gpfsug-discuss] Node in cluster but not in cluster

[Jonathan Buzzard]

I was trying to add a node to the cluster but after an hour I ctrl-c it 
as it was clearly not in a good place. It told me that it didn't make 
changes

^Cmmdsh: Caught SIG INT - terminating the child processes.
mmaddnode: Interrupt received: No changes made.

I checked to make sure all the networking is correct, GPFS packages are 
installed on the node etc. and it is all good so I go to add it again and

mmaddnode: Node <##### censored> was not added to the cluster.
    The node appears to already belong to a GPFS cluster.
mmaddnode: mmaddnode quitting.  None of the specified nodes are valid.
mmaddnode: Command failed. Examine previous error messages to determine 
cause.

Ok, lets try and delete it

mmdelnode: Incorrect node <##### censored> specified for command.
mmdelnode: No nodes were found that matched the input specification.
mmdelnode: Command failed. Examine previous error messages to determine 
cause.


Trying to do mmsdrrestore on the node gives

mmsdrrestore: There is no record for this node in file 
gpfs0:/var/mmfs/gen/mmsdrfs.
   Either the node is not part of the cluster, or the file is for a 
different cluster,
   or not all of the node's adapter interfaces have been activated yet.
mmsdrrestore: Command failed. Examine previous error messages to 
determine cause.

The node does not show up in mmlsnode or mmlscluster

Anyone and idea what is going on?
